These were jewels that could be worn without revealing the lover’s identity. Romantic, huh? Voilà! I love it!

Until next time, I’ve got my eye on you.

While we’ve got our eyes wide open let’s peek in at Paula’s and see what’s under her cloche.

Patti

First up is my elephant and roses cloche. Cloches, bell jars, and glass domes are a perfect way to highlight an object of your fancy. I just love porcelains. Porcelains with roses are one of my favorites.

This vintage coffee pot from India is small enough to display in a cloche. I like to rotate my vintage import pieces giving each piece an opportunity to debut.

My favorite type of ironstone is Red Cliff. My favorite of the red cliff are the ones with the little grapes. This little Tureen was a bargain buy without its ladle.

Have you ever seen these small dessert cloches and wondered "What can I put in there?" Well the answer is pretty much anything small. Patti and I were visiting a local orchid nursery and they were selling this orchid, from Thailand, in a painted wooden container. Can you believe that that orchid is soap?

Here is another porcelain piece with roses on the front. I can't wait to show you the rest of the porcelain collection.

Thank you for joining us for our cloche encounters, we will be linking to the following blogs:

Hi Patti and Paula. I thouroughly enjoyed your cloches and had a giggle for the title...very cool, very cool....hehe. I missed the cloche party but am so thrilled to land here and learn and enjoy. Love your wonderful cloche's and the ensembles... I will look at my cloches with new eyes for sure...

Girls, girls, girls...those are AMAZING. I loved looking (and admiring) each and every cloche display. Thanks you SO MUCH for sharing your photos. AND the title for your entry at the Cloche party is very clever!

Hi Patti! Your "siren's cave" is absolutely gorgeous. I love all the beautiful whatnots and baubles you've added. I love that you added the key to your secretary, but I think it would make my eye twitch to do that, lol. I'd be nervous about losing it. And your Globe de Mariée... I love them. They are so beautiful. If only I could afford one :) And the lover's eye pin is such a treasure.

Hi Paula!

I love the little coffee pot! It's wonderful. And the little cloche with the Orchid Soap... No... I can't believe that it's not real... What a great idea... Especially for a bathroom! Such great ideas!

So glad I stopped by as I love your very pretty displays! I'm a vintage/antique/Victorian lover also and I do love your taste in what is pretty. I'm your newest follower and would love to have you stop by my blog also. I am so going to find some cloches and add those to my decoration interests. Blessings,Sue

Yayyyyyyy!! It's working today and you're back to normal!! At least from my view *winks*

Patti that siren's cave cloche is absolutely exquisite!! Took my breath away...made me swoon....you get the picture? My jaw is still on the ground and I saved every shot to my special Ivy & Elephants style file *winks* And of course the french brides dome is also fabulous!! (No surprise I adore that one!) In such beautiful shape too. And the georgian lovers eye pin....Oh be still my heart! I've seen them on rare occasion but never knew what they were....Here goes another collection! So needless to say I LOVED this post!! (And truly could almost lick the screen... shhhhhh don't tell!)

Paula where did you find that darling little red cliff tureen?!! Oh me wanty! I adore red cliff too! I have a couple of the larger soup tureens but now I'll be keeping my eyes open for the gravy size *winks*....OK I'm a little light headed from all this yummmm!! I'm dyin' to go shopping!! Vanna

Your cloche ideas are charming. I love what you did with each one. I did find some of those tiny ones. I put small pieces of stone fruit in them. I do enjoy finding various uses for mine. I will use some of your ideas for sure.Hugs, Jeanne
